Description
«Se è indubbio che Thoreau abbia trascorso gran parte della sua vita nella natura libera, per lo più in solitudine, lontano dal consorzio civile, è altrettanto vero che nella sua personalità così poliedrica e contraddittoria si manifesta anche una tendenza alla critica sociale: tutte le sue opere, sia le principali che le minori, testimoniano questo aspetto e lo confermano come estensione dei princìpi del trascendentalismo emersoniano, portati alle loro estreme conseguenze. Nei due saggi qui presentati, esempi tra i più straordinari della saggistica e dell’oratoria di tutta la tradizione culturale americana, l’esigenza di una critica delle istituzioni assume un vigore decisivo, configurandosi come precisa richiesta di fondamentali riforme nella sfera più strettamente politica. Con un eloquio di rara forza espressiva e trasparente lucidità dichiarativa, la coscienza individuale viene posta al di sopra di ogni tradizione e di ogni istituzione.» (Dallo scritto di Franco Meli)
